Error 303

[Elian_Gon�alves5209]

Hey!

I'm trying to install Creative Cloud programs, but it always gives me "error 303". On the Adobe website the only recommendation is to try the installation again, but I've done this several times and the error keeps happening. The only program that installed without problems was InDesign.

I would be grateful if you can help me. Thanks!

Try resetting the CC App.
To reset the Creative Cloud desktop app, make sure it's in the foreground, then press:
Win: Ctrl + Alt + R
Mac: Cmd + Opt + R

If that doesn't work, try uninstalling and reinstalling the CC App:
